Jenny and Freddie are both weighing in with tips on how to make the season a special one for you and your S.O.

“Don’t just drop hints, but actually pick out the gifts for yourselves.

“For me, the best time to give a gift is first thing in the morning just as he’s waking up. Each year, I make a point to wake up extra early to make him breakfast in bed—with a gift at his side, of course!” — Jenny Bernheim

“Although we’ve celebrated as a couple for the past six years, this feels like the first year that we can set traditions as a family for years to come. Making time to set those traditions is an important part of our first year celebrating together.” — Jenny Bernheim

“Traditional holiday styles can feel a bit dated. We like to coordinate our party looks through color and texture. If he’s wearing a polished velvet suit, I will wear a classic silk dress. The combination feels lavish and looks striking together. Add a Baume et Mercier watch to the look, and it speaks volumes for the appreciation one has for fine finishings. Even on a casual afternoon like this one, our looks are instantly elevated by our elegant watches.” — Jenny Bernheim
